At least 6 months ago, since I remember noticing the same thing when I bought some without reading the ingredients then. Didn't do shit.

Crazy stuff.

Yeah, and they replaced it with some dextromorphan, which I'm allergic to. I didn't notice until after I'd taken it. (It used to only be in NyQuil.) It put me in a total despairing depression for a few days.

actually they replaced it with phenylephrine. DXM is a cough suppressant which, I am pretty sure, has always been in Dayquil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DayQuil).

I thought DayQuil always had dex in it?

They're like the New Coke

All the Quils are bloody useless now.

if you want real pseudoephedrine and not phenyleprine, you must do the following:

1. show proper identification (18+)
2. sign a logbook (name, quantity - no more than 2 packages - time, date)
3. physically receive said decongestant from store employee, who must get it for you from a locked location inaccessible to customers without their assistance.

in oregon, as of july, you'll need a prescription. i am not kidding about any of this.

This is indeed some fucking bullshit. (an attempt to stop meth synthesis)

Someone should start making pseudoephedrine from methamphetamine in reverse.
